Mount Caulfield

Castle

What is recorded here

Mount Caulfield stands as a castle in County Armagh, though no tower or wall remains visible to judge its height or purpose. The name suggests a family claimed the land, perhaps building a hall where firelight moved across oak beams while rain struck the roof. Any chamber has vanished, leaving only the possibility that people lived there, argued there, and forgot the address before the grass took back the stones.
